Israel kills 13 in strike on Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon
An Israeli air strike on a Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon killed at least 13 people on Tuesday, according to the health ministry.
The attack targeted an area near a mosque and a football pitch in the Ain al-Hilweh refugee camp on the outskirts of the city of Sidon, which was packed with civilians.
Local media reported that dozens were wounded in the strike.
Ain al-Hilweh is the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon. It houses a population of nearly 80,000 people who live in an area of just 1.5 sq km.
The Israeli military said the strike targeted a Hamas “military compound” allegedly used for training.
